I remember driving them at a dealership event when they just came out and quite enjoyed it. It was a nice comfortable ride and definitely felt fast enough. I'm ok with the 2019s having about 120 mi range. The car will only be driven maybe 3 times per week locally so it would have plenty of time to stay charged up even on level 1 charger. I would definitely skip on the REX because I'd never take it on a road trip.

The 2019 version is actually decent life but keep in mind that your range does down day 15-20% during colder weather...

Too bad the Mini EV has shitty battery. Was really looking forward to that as a potential i3 replacement but guess I’ll be waiting for the X3 EV specs...
Yea I was also hoping the MINI SE would have way better range, because I'm actually a fan of their interiors. But the way I see it, if I'm going to get something electric that's different than my M's, I'd want something very different, which the i3 is inside and out.

Have you had anything come up with yours? Don't see to find too many issues on the BEVs
